Hi all, Does anyone know the overall length of the TomCat for shipping purposes? This would be from the trailer hitch ball to the most aft propeller blade with engines trimmed in towing position. Thank you! Rob

I talked to the owner today. Boat is not going to be for sale until the end of September. I guess he had a smaller replacement picked out, but was sold before he could get it so now he's keeping his boat. He said it cruised about 15 mph, when I asked about minimum planing speed, he was under...

I don't plan on trailering...much. Whatever I buy will live in a marina 5 minutes from my house in Tacoma most of the year but will get trailered to the coast for a few months at a time and either live in the water there or very close to it. I'm looking for a hardcore fishing rig that will serve...

Thanks for posting the link Bob. Good read. I'm very interested in this boat. Emailed the seller, no response yet but will keep you all posted. If anyone has any other info good or bad. Please don't hesitate to share. Rob

Bob, Thank you for chiming in. I've read a lot of what you've written here and on THT for years and years regarding your Tomcat adventures as well as your previous open water adventures in other boats. The knowledge you share is priceless, thank you. Yes, the wife prefers, in fact REQUIRES a...

Hi GC John, I wasn't very clear on my question. My apologies. I should have worded it something more like hull configuration changes instead of floatation differences. Sounds like the hull #1 is pretty much identical to a brand new boat made today. I've been reading about these boats for 10 +...

Sure. The Ranger was my attempt to get my non-boating wife into boating. They're cute and she liked the boat. But she never really got the big picture of gunkholing, exploring, etc. She just viewed the boat as a water taxi. Then one day I went to install a new autopilot I'd purchased. I removed...

Hi again, I'm back in the hunt. We just sold our last boat expecting to move up in size to something not trailerable due to growing family but really all I need is sleeping for 4, two bigs and two littles. I've almost bought a Tomcat the last two boats, but did not. Now I'm considering them...

I will keep you posted, but whatever it is, it will have a massive cockpit and have good seakeeping abilities on the big water. C100 fits the bill, but won't be able to afford that for another decade or so if ever. If you did happen to read my review on the Shamrock Mackinaw 270, I mentioned...

Thanks for the replies here and the private messages of catamarans for sale. Rogerbum, how well does your boat really handle the typical PNW North-South-Easter swell, secondary swell, chop that we get out in our ocean? Westward, yes, that was my review. I saw your post this morning and...

Hi all, Some of you may remember me from boat shopping here 6-7 years ago. I never ended up buying a C-Dory but am considering one again. I currently own a Shamrock Mackinaw 270. It's been a great boat, fishes well, fishes a lot of people, exceptional fuel economy and turn of speed. Handles...

I have no idea about this but I did see it a while ago. https://boatbound.co/boats/crwgz $460 per day for a Tomcat

Larry, Is The Dreamer Still For Sale And Does The Trailer Come With A Weight Distributing Hitch?

2012 Ranger 25SC. Most people like to hear follow up about interesting topics and I know this one comes up quite a bit on this site. I had strongly considered many, many boats. The list is long, but here it is: Everything C-dory including Tomcat which as a fisherman in Puget Sound, was really...

I'm still lurking on this site, and the CD25 vs Ranger 25 are both still on my short list so I thought I'd read on. To add to what Bob said, another difference in 3/4 vs 1 ton trucks in addition to the extra leaf spring is usually: Bigger brakes Bigger differential. Other than that 3/4 vs...

Again, thank you all for the responses. You are all so cordial to help a non C-Dory owner. I have reviewed ALL of your suggestions with interest. All I can say is I will definately buy.....a boat. I'm more confused now than ever! The more I look, the worse it gets. Is anybody taking their 25...

Thank you all for the responses.budget is under 100k so ranger is out. I have had my eye on Albin for quite awhile but not sure if the missus will go for the tiny upper cabin but it looks likeit'll work on paper. I really like the skagit/sea sport/osprey style but why why why did they have to...

c-Brats, I posted last year asking about 25 foot cruisers and tom cats. I'm still on the fence about a tomcat however let me tell you what I really want and you can tell me if anybody makes this boat? 10 foot beam 27 to 28 feet long either outboard or inboard. No inboard outboard. must sleep...

416RIGBY, Yes, I have seen the Wooldridge pilothouse. I really like that boat but they don't exactly give them away. I'm actually personal friends with Glen and Grant Wooldridge, but STILL can't afford a pilothouse! Since I'm still in the early research stages of this, I'm going to learn all...

Wow! I'm a C-Dory fan already and I haven't even ridden on one. Thanks for all of the great responses and bringing some things to light that I haven't considered. I don't need to get anywhere fast, and last I checked, marina fuel prices haven't gotten any cheaper so I'm already more inclined...
